Chrissy Teigen Says ‘I Was A Troll – There Is Simply No Excuse’ As She Apologizes Again For ‘Awful’ Resurfaced Tweets
Chrissy Teigen has posted a lengthy apology online after old, controversial tweets of hers resurfaced in which she bullied Courtney Stodden, a model and reality TV personality. Sharing the apology on social media the model and TV host says,
“Not a day, not a single moment has passed where I haven’t felt the crushing weight of regret for the things I’ve said in the past. As you know, a bunch of my old awful (awful, awful) tweets resurfaced. I’m truly ashamed of them. As I look at them and understand the hurt they caused, I have to stop and wonder: How could I have done that? I’ve apologized publicly to one person, but there are others — and more than just a few — who I need to say I’m sorry to. I’m in the process of privately reaching out to the people I insulted. It’s like my own version of that show ‘My Name is Earl!’ I understand that they may not want to speak to me. I don’t think I’d like to speak to me. (The real truth in all of this is how much I actually cannot take confrontation.) But if they do, I am here and I will listen to what they have to say, while apologizing through sobs”.
As previously reported, she first apologized publicly in May, when the news began to go viral that she sent Stodden offensive direct messages, such as “I can’t wait for you to die.”
Her most recent apology continued,
“I’ve apologized publicly to one person, but there are others — and more than just a few — who I need to say I’m sorry to. I’m in the process of privately reaching out to the people I insulted. It’s like my own version of that show ‘My Name is Earl!’ I understand that they may not want to speak to me. I don’t think I’d like to speak to me. (The real truth in all of this is how much I actually cannot take confrontation.) But if they do, I am here and I will listen to what they have to say, while apologizing through sobs”.
